China’s Loongson announced that it will launch a 7nm process computer processor within two years, mainly used in enterprise server computers. The company expects that in 2035, it will be able to achieve the same level of processors with ARM and x86 architectures, forming a “three pillars”.
The Loongson processor adopts the Loongson architecture created by the company and the LoongArch instruction set independently developed by the company. Last year, it launched a series of processors named “Loongson 3A/3C5000”, using a 12nm process and a frequency of 2.5GHz. Core (desktop) and 16-core (server) architectures. Officials refer to the computer equipped with the desktop version of the processor, which scored more than 1,700 points for single-core and 4,200 points for multi-core in the Unixbench running score, which is close to the level of mainstream desktop computer processors in the market.
Godson said that major upgrades will be made in the next two generations of processors, namely 3A/3C7000. The processor will use a 7nm process with a frequency of 2.5GHz, and the number of cores can be increased to 32 cores. The Loongson 3A/3C7000 is expected to be released in 2024.
Hu Weiwu, chairman of Loongson, said he hoped Loongson could open the market in 2025 and go to the international market in 2030. He pointed out that he hopes that in 2035, Godson will be able to form a “three-legged confrontation” with ARM and x86.
